Chapter 17: The Solitude of Mother and Daughter
At 9:47, Qin Jinjun slept on the bed wearing last night's school uniform.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and she turned lazily, her eyes still closed, showing no sign of awakening.
Outside the door, Aunt Bai knocked for a while, but there was still no response inside, so she had to go down the stairs and return to the entrance.
"Rongrong, Miss probably hasn't gotten up yet." Aunt Bai said helplessly.
"It's okay Aunt Bai, maybe there is too much knowledge in high school, and I'm too tired to study, I'll wait in the living room for a while." Hua Yuerong said and walked towards the living room.
"What kind of snacks does Rong Rong want to eat? Aunt Bai will do it for you. Aunt Bai walked behind Hua Yuerong.
"Speaking of which, I really miss the cream fried cake made by Aunt Bai." Hua Yuerong had a light smile on her face.
"I'll do it for you now, sit down for a while, and you'll be fine soon." Aunt Bai readily agreed and walked into the kitchen quickly.
When she arrived in the living room, Hua Yuerong sat on the sofa and read her mobile phone to pass the time. After sitting for a while, a clear sound of footsteps sounded, Hua Yuerong raised her head and followed the prestige, Qin Cheng wearing an expensive suit came to her, compared to the last time the two met, Qin Cheng looked more mature, not only because he had a beard, but also because of his temperament.
"Cheng, long time no see." Hua Yuerong smiled lightly.
"Well, how are you doing?" Qin Cheng walked over to Hua Yuerong and sat down.
"Fortunately, Tianhao has just entered elementary school recently, and my work is going well." Hua Yuerong shrugged and said.
Qin Cheng nodded, his expression was a little cramped, as if he didn't know what to say next.
"What about you?" Hua Yuerong asked when she saw that he didn't speak.
"Yes, Jinjun is in high school, her grades have always been very good, I don't need to worry about this." Qin Cheng had a slightly proud look on his face.
"Our smiles are very smart when we are young." As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Yuerong's fair face flushed slightly.
The corners of Qin Cheng's mouth raised a shallow arc.
After a moment of silence, Qin Cheng suddenly asked, "Where are you mother and daughter going to play in a while?" ”
"I haven't thought about it yet, Xiaoxiao lives well with you, she doesn't lack anything, I can't think of where to go with Xiaoxiao to make her happy." Hua Yuerong's face was worried.
"Actually, as long as you take time to spend with her, she will be very happy." Qin Cheng raised his hand and gently put it on her shoulder, Hua Yuerong turned her head to look at Qin Cheng, this action evoked a lot of memories between the two, they looked at each other speechlessly, enjoying the silence of each other at the moment.
"Rongrong, your cream cake is ready." Aunt Bai brought pastries and tea at this time, which happened to break the charming atmosphere between the two.
Qin Cheng hurriedly retracted his hand, and the two of them retracted their gaze at the same time very tacitly.
"It's so fragrant, I shouldn't have eaten it for more than ten years." Hua Yuerong picked up the tableware and added a piece, put it in front of her nose and smelled the tempting aroma.
"Just fried, be careful of burning your mouth." After reminding Hua Yuerong, Aunt Bai looked at Qin Cheng and said, "I didn't notice that Young Master Cheng had also come down in the kitchen just now, so I didn't prepare your tableware, I'll go pour tea for you now." ”
"No need, Aunt Bai, I just wanted to go up and see why that kid hadn't gotten up so late." Qin Cheng got up and left.
When he arrived at the door of Qin Jinjun's room, he knocked a few times, but there was no response inside, Qin Cheng simply went back to the room and took out the spare key to open the door, and saw that she was still sleeping on the bed, so he stepped forward to wake her up.
"Jinjun, mom is here, get up and freshen up." As soon as Qin Cheng got closer, he smelled the residual smell of wine on her body, leaned over and shook her shoulder with his hand and asked, "Did you drink again last night?" ”
At this moment, Qin Jinjun finally woke up, she covered her head in pain, sat up slowly, and said weakly: "Speak quietly, it makes me want to vomit." ”
"Answer me, did you drink again yesterday?" Qin Cheng questioned again.
"What's wrong with me having some drink? You have ignored me since I was a child, how can you have this elegance to teach me now? Qin Jinjun sneered, and without waiting for Qin Cheng to speak, she lay back on the bed and continued to sleep.
"You ......" Qin Cheng was so angry that he was speechless for a while.
"Besides, she has missed the appointment more than three or four times, and it is not a big deal for me to miss the appointment once, let her go back, I will stay at home and sleep today." Qin Jinjun still thought that Qin Cheng was not angry enough, and added.
"I don't care if others don't make an appointment, you are my daughter, you can't be discredited." The only person who can make Qin Cheng unhappy is Qin Jinjun.
"It turns out that I am your daughter, and I always go out early and return late to avoid me, and I think I am your enemy if you don't say it at this time." Qin Jinjun said angrily.
Qin Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, he said in a cold tone: "It's okay if you are rude to me, but you can't disrespect your mother, she is the person who loves you the most in this world, and she even doesn't want her own life for you." Give you half an hour to take a shower, wash up, change your clothes, take a hangover pill and hurry down for me, otherwise I will freeze all your sources of income. With that, he turned and left.
It was said that there was nothing to do, Qin Jinjun could only grit his teeth, obediently got out of bed and walked into the cloakroom to get a change of clothes. There was a tingling pain in her knee as she walked, and she looked down to find a band-aid on the knee of her left leg, with black handwriting on it. She crouched down and checked:My name is Amelia,hope to see you again soon,kiddo.
"Mad woman." Qin Jinjun chuckled and scolded, her memory returned, and the scenes from last night were replayed in her mind, and she murmured softly: "I guess I won't have a chance to see you again in the future." ”
Tearing off the band-aid, Qin Jinjun took out a transparent plastic bag from the closet, put it in, and laid it flat on the dresser.
At 10:29, Xu Yong carried Qin Jinjun and Hua Yuerong out of the door.
"Where do you want to play?" Hua Yuerong asked with a smile.
"Whatever." Qin Jinjun said while yawning.
"Xiaoxiao, your face is not very good, didn't you sleep well last night?" Hua Yuerong looked worried.
Qin Jinjun nodded, leaning his head on the seat, his eyes were foggy, and his expression seemed to be asleep.
"Come and sleep on my mother's lap, Xiaoxiao liked to sleep on my lap when I was a child." Hua Yuerong gently patted her thigh with her hand.
"I'm not a kid anymore." Although Qin Jinjun said this, his body slowly leaned against Hua Yuerong, his head rested on Hua Yuerong's lap, looking like a well-behaved kitten, and he fell asleep after a while.
When he woke up again, the car had arrived near a commercial building in Zhongnan District, and Xu Yong was looking left and right to find a parking space to park.
"Where are we now?" Qin Jinjun slowly sat up and looked out the window.
"In a commercial building near Yueci Hospital." Hua Yuerong couldn't help but reach out and touch Qin Jinjun's slightly curly long hair and continued: "Usually I'm too busy at work, and I have almost no personal time, so my mother doesn't know where to take you to play." But I always pass by here when I get off work, and sometimes I go shopping, and if you don't like it, you can go somewhere else, and my mother will be with you all day. ”
Qin Jinjun dodged Hua Yuerong's hand touching his hair without a trace, turned his head and said to Hua Yuerong, "It's good here." ”
Finally found a place to park in this densely populated neighborhood, after the car was parked, Qin Jinjun asked Xu Yong to wait near the car, and then walked to the commercial building with Hua Yuerong.
Walking into the commercial building, one shop after another sells everything.
"It's still early, let's go shopping first, and then take you to lunch. If you like anything, just tell your mother, buy it for Xiaoxiao. Hua Yuerong pointed to the shop and said.
Qin Jinjun didn't reply, and began to look left and right.
"Do you like the shoes in this store?" Hua Yuerong excitedly pointed to the shoe store on her left.
Qin Jinjun shook his head.
"Where's the clothes?" Hua Yuerong pointed to the fashionable clothing store on Qin Jinjun's right.
Qin Jinjun shook his head again.
Hua Yuerong paused, and the smile on her face retreated slightly. Take a deep breath and keep up quickly.
At the end is a spacious lobby with an escalator that leads to a higher floor or basement level. A woman is holding her young daughter by the hand as she walks down the escalator to the basement floor, a happy smile on their faces. This scene happened to be seen by Qin Jinjun, she paused, her eyes watched the mother and daughter walk into the elevator, and only then did she say to Hua Yuerong until she couldn't see their figures: "It's better to go down and shop." ”
"Xiaoxiao, are you sure? Below is the supermarket, it will be boring. Hua Yuerong looked at Qin Jinjun with doting eyes, and her hand involuntarily put it on her head and stroked it gently.
"I haven't been to the supermarket with you yet, let's go, maybe it will be fun." Qin Jinjun showed a light smile on his face, and he actually took the initiative to take Hua Yuerong's hand and pull her to the escalator leading to the basement floor.
"As long as you smile and like it, your mother will accompany you." Hua Yuerong was a little stunned, a happy smile appeared on her face, and her grip on Qin Jinjun's hand became tighter.
